A quick question for the Unix-heads out there

Partial virtualisation on Unix: Solaris Zones and Containers, WPARs on AIX, stuff like that.

I don't mean simple chroot, which goes back to Unix Version 7 in 1979 - I mean splitting off processes into virtual environments.

As far as I've been able to find, the original and first implementation of this was Jails on FreeBSD 4 in 2000. Is that right, or was there prior art that I've not been able to find?
